Without New Life Day Center, the homeless would have limited or no shelter options during the daytime hours. This means no breakfast, no lockers, and no connection to resources within the city of Lexington. Every day, at least 150 homeless would be on the streets of Lexington during the daytime hours. Because of our community partners, and individuals like you, we are changing lives.

Join us in the effort to change the landscape of the homeless population in our city. We are grateful for every type of involvement and each donation we receive. Whether you are a corporation with services or in-kind donations or an individual who wants to serve with their time and talents, we welcome you to partner with us in our mission.
